It tests both display (escape sequence handling) and keyboard. .PP The program is menu\-driven and contains full on\-line operating instructions. To run a given menu\-item, you must enter its number. You can run all menu\-items (for a given level) by entering an asterisk, i.e, `*'. . .SH OPTIONS You can specify the screen geometry in the form \fI[24x80.132]\fP, i.e., 24 lines, 80 minimum columns, 132 maximum columns. If your terminal does not switch between 80 and 132 columns you may specify 24x80.80, for example, to avoid a misleading display. .PP Other options are: .TP 5 .BI \-f " file" specify a file containing a DRCS (soft character definition) string. .TP 5 .B \-l log test results to \fIvttest.log\fP. .TP 5 .B \-p use padding, e.g., for a VT100 connected to a high-speed line. .TP 5 .B \-8 use 8-bit controls (this can be changed with a menu option). . .SH AUTHOR Per Lindberg (mcvax,seismo)!enea!suadb!lindberg sometime 1985.
